ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR INVESTMENT PROFESSIONAL BEFORE MAKING ANY INVESTMENT DECISION
October 22, 2020 | Global Food Shortages Beginning
There is a serious food shortage we have been warning about which our computer has been projecting for the 4.3-year wave into 2024. Our sources from Asia and Europe have been confirming what we have been getting from Australia and the United States. Now it is starting to be reported in Germany by the Deutsche-Wirtschafts-Nachrichten. […]
October 22, 2020 | Lending and Buying Frenzy has Bubble Hallmarks
Living one hour north of Toronto, the COVID-19 home-buying frenzy is readily apparent. Prices have appreciated more than 20% year over year, and “Coming Soon” signs turn into “Sold” within days. Many properties don’t even make it to an MLS listing. A realty lawyer friend told me yesterday that she is having the busiest transaction […]

When Westjet pulled the plug on Atlantic Canada some days ago, I was moved to post this on a local chat board: ‘Bubbles have consequences…’ The response was predictable. “Garth doesn’t get it,” and “No, wrong. Pandemics have consequences”, were typical replies. And so the virus continues to divide us. As a reminder, my choice […]
October 22, 2020 | Fourth Turning Election Year Crisis
“The next Fourth Turning is due to begin shortly after the new millennium, midway through the Oh-Oh decade. Around the year 2005, a sudden spark will catalyze a Crisis mood. Remnants of the old social order will disintegrate. Political and economic trust will implode. Real hardship will beset the land, with severe distress that could […]
October 22, 2020 | One Table And Two Charts Show Why Stocks Are A Bad Place To Be
US stocks are behaving amazingly well given the political and economic near-chaos of the past few months. This is probably the first recession that inflated rather than popped financial asset bubbles. Why? Because panicked governments and central banks are dumping trillions of play-money dollars into the system, a big part of which flow directly into […]

October 21, 2020 | The Insanity We Face
COMMENT: In response to the Blog Alert: A 20 Year-Old Tears Apart the PDR Test. There is no COVID-19 virus. There are various [flu] virus illnesses. I suspect that all the testing is doing is observing a natural shedding/cleansing by our immune system and we probably would have observed the same thing back in the […]
October 21, 2020 | Solar, Wind and Water Dramatically Reduce Energy Use and Costs
The Solutions Project at Stanford University has been pointing out for years now that improving energy efficiency and powering the grid with electricity from wind, water, and the sun dramatically reduces overall energy use. In their blueprint for Canada, the reduction in demand is an estimated 63% below current levels. Already, wind and solar power are the […]
October 21, 2020 | Dog-Whistling Marxists Is Not a Winning Strategy
Bulls are straining to hold shares aloft, but we haven’t seen sufficient weakness to infer that the stock market smells a Biden victory. That would be a catastrophe for Wall Street, even if some pundits insist investors might actually prefer him. We now have fake opinions, it would seem, to supplement fake news intended to […]
October 21, 2020 | Herd Immunity
Remember the words posted here weeks ago about the coming condo collapse? Well, presto. It’s here. At least the beginning. Right on cue. For example, a one-bedder unit just steps away from the sky-darkening bank towers at King & Bay in the Big Smoke was commanding $1,200 for each of its six hundred feet in […]

October 20, 2020 | Summers: Deflationary Pressures are the New Paradigm
I have been commenting on building deflationary pressures for some time. The pandemic has accelerated these forces with negative implications for status quo thinking and social stability. I don’t often agree with Larry Summers, but his comments in this segment are lucid. The era of borrowing to inflate asset prices has misallocated trillions in resources. […]
October 20, 2020 | The Big Cycle That Can Make You Poor … or Rich!
His name was Nikolai Kondratieff. He wrote a 23-page tract called “The Long Waves in Economic Life.” It contained an idea so incendiary, he was sent to the gulag … before being shot by firing squad in September of 1938. Why was Stalin so furious? Because Nikolai predicted communism would fail and be replaced […]
October 20, 2020 | A Wall of Worry Provides a Great Buying Opportunity for NFLX and SNAP
For a bull trend to perpetuate it occasionally needs to climb a wall of worry. Bearish investors are always on the lookout for a theme that will provide them with an opportunity to short a stock or sector. If prices rise, investors who shorted-shares will need to cover, perpetuating the bull-trend rally. This concept has […]
